Hi again, Just ran across these postings about members who are parting out a couple of cars, your vintage. I have no idea but maybe one might have a head unit. Here is the link: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/76095-1999-lexus-gs300-parts-car/ Paul Thank you for acknowloging the great contribution Jim makes to this Club. He has tremendous knowledge, especially about the older models, and goes out of his way to provide data that no one else seems to have. He is a great guy.

Sorry. I was hoping that John Nguyen would offer you a used Nak LCD salvaged from a non-working head unit. I don't see any used head units for a 98 GS on his website but you could check his eBay store or see if someone else on eBay has a working head unit for sale. Have you checked auto salvage yards? Or advertise for one on Lexus forums including Clublexus where a coworker bought a 98-00 LS400 Nak system a few years back.

A code P0440 could mean one or more of the following has happened: The gas cap is not installed or working properly The purge solenoid has failed The canister is plugged and not working properly try use code scanner clear it. __________________ never say goodbye! ChinaSinoy

well, well, well. i googled crack issue for my GX 470 2003. Like others, has been garage kept; i don't work so it has spent MOST of it's time in the garage. cracks just appeared last week. i am waiting to hear from local dealer after service talks with rep. sounds like i already know the best possible response from lexus. sounds like the basis of a class action lawsuit to me. This is absolutely ridiculous for a luxury car carefully cared for. Thanks!!!

2004 GX 470 (original owner) garage kept I too have the exact same cracks in my dashboard as described in previous posts. I contacted Lexus of Jacksonville and they offered to split 50/50 in which my half is $982! I feel as though I'm paying for the entire bill. This is obviously a manufacturer defect. I would hope Lexus would take care of this as it would definitely make a difference in purchasing my next Lexus. Thanks for the information.

Mann777, Sorry to hear that you had the same problem. You ended up replacing the entire dashboard or the entire dashboard cover? The part cost you $490.00? I guess $480.00 sounds fair for Lexus to replace the dashboard (or is it just the dashboard cover) in my GX470. Thanks for sharing your experience. RjWell..... I've been a mechanic for 25 years... Here's my assumption of the dash issue. If the sun beat the crap out of the interior, there'd be signs of failure of other parts, like door panels, plastic warping, moulding cracking and such to warrant such a falure of the dash pad. It's clearly an indication that Lexus used inferior material for the dash pad and blame it on heat or sun issues.... Bull*BLEEP*. Crappy materia;s is what I say. Mine has been protected by the best uv protectants and has barely been in the sun and still cracked asif it was 50 years old. Clearly a piece of *BLEEP* material, if ya asked me....
